Dear Xu Ting,
You wrote that you always feel lonely after school because your parents work in another city. I understand quite well that sometimes you are anxious and afraid. It’s common for teenagers to feel lonely when they live away from their parents.
I recommend that you should talk to your teachers about your problem. It’s not unusual to feel unaccustomed to be far away from parents at first. But spending too much time thinking of your parents is not good for your school life, and makes it impossible for you to focus on your study. I think you should concentrate on your study. By the way, you can use your free time to help others, since helping others can make us feel happy. I also encourage you to make friends with your classmates, because being friendly to your classmates can make it possible for you to become their friend. Why not contact your parents with your phone when you are free?
This will help you drive away your loneliness.

Homework
为了帮助中学生健康成长,某中学英文报开辟了“HEART TO HEART”专栏。假设你是该栏目的编辑Jamie,收到一封署名为Worried的求助信。信中该同学向你诉说了自己的困扰:近日容易发脾气,使正常的学习和生活受到了影响。请你用英文给该同学写一封回信。内容要点如下:
1.表示理解并给予安慰;
2.提出建议并说明理由。
Homework
Hi Worried,
I'm sorry to know that you are having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be going wrong, so you don't have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you'll regret.
Here are three tips for you. First of all, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Besides, I recommend that you go outdoors and play team games with your friends as physical exercise is an effective way to get rid of your anger. What’s more, why not be optimistic about your future? Such a positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.
I hope my advice is helpful and you'll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.
Yours,
Jamie
